Tour description

Discover the extraordinary diversity of South Australia on this beautifully curated journey that contrasts the elegance of Adelaide with the wild beauty of the Eyre Peninsula, the heritage of Port Augusta, the vineyards of the Clare Valley and the coastal charm of the Yorke Peninsula. Adelaide, Australia’s first planned city, delights with its grand boulevards, leafy parklands and vibrant cultural precincts — a legacy of Colonel William Light’s remarkable vision. From the city’s museums and art galleries to its seaside suburbs of Glenelg, Henley and Brighton, our time here offers a wonderful introduction before we venture onto roads less travelled.

The Eyre Peninsula reveals a completely different side of the state — rugged, remote and breathtakingly beautiful. Along its 2,000 kilometres of pristine coastline, travellers will encounter calm eastern shores, towering limestone cliffs on the west, and brilliant blue waters teeming with marine life. From dolphins and sea lions to seasonal whale sightings, the region is a haven for wildlife and outdoor exploration. Seafood lovers will relish tastings of Coffin Bay oysters, scallops, King George whiting and more during immersive cruising experiences. The journey continues through historic Port Augusta, the picturesque Clare Valley and onto the Yorke Peninsula, where stories of early mining history meet scenic coastal towns. With scenic touring, local produce, memorable experiences and thoughtful pacing, this tour offers a rich and rewarding exploration of South Australia’s landscapes, culture and coastal treasures.

Testimonials

Ladies and Gentlemen, Our recent tour to Merimbula and the Sapphire Coast was enjoyable. We wish to have recorded our special thanks to John T, the driver of the week. Not only steered us through thick and thin but changed his hat throughout the days to become maitre de plaisir, Tea and Coffee director, Seniors supervisor, time keeper, convenience spotter, luggage handler and so the list goes on and on. John is a credit to the Company !!

Best regards, Helga

Dear, Sir/Madam, I’ve recently returned from your Bright Autumn tour and was delighted to experience this. As usual, I speak highly of “On Course Tours” and I especially give appraisal to your tour leader named, John. He presented professionally, drove the bus in the same manner. He was always respectful, and very thoughtful, towards all his passengers. Thank you for a well organised tour.

Yours faithfully, Mrs B.
